My Cardboard Box
How many toys, what type of toys, how many computer games, how many special trips, how much T.V., or how many new toys does one child need? All of these questions seem to be constant on every parent’s mind today that I needed to recount my cardboard box.
You see, when I was a kid, I didn’t have all these new toys that parents are told today that they need by all those advertisers. In fact, my parents probably couldn’t have afforded them anyway because it was expensive enough looking after four children. Now, don’t get me wrong. We always had plenty to eat, always had clean clothes, although some were hand me downs, and we were always attended to by a doctor when it was needed.

The Magic Word - Reading
How can I get my kids excited about reading?
The Harry Potter craze swept the globe for the last time this summer with the release of the seventh and final installment of J.K. Rowling’s beloved series. Since its July 21 release, parents worldwide have witnessed a magical phenomenon in their children—they put down the video game paddle and picked up a book. While this phenomenon may have been short-lived, it proved one thing: kids can enjoy reading. All they need is the proper encouragement, a good book and maybe a bargain or two.
